Hello from germany!

I have a little question about using tunnels with Putty.

A little summary
I have this setup:

Network behind NAT Firewall with:
1) Debian Client
2) IP Camera

Somewhere in Datacenter:
3) Debian VPS

Somewhere in Internet:
4) Windows Client



So... now the target ist to get on the ip camera from somewhere in this world.

Therefore I have a reverse ssh tunnel from 1) to 3).
So I can connect from 4) to 3) with putty ssh and can then connect to 1) from 3).


With winscp you can make connections over ssh tunnel... so I can do this 'automatically'.
But now I want to to the same with putty to open a SOCKS proxy.
Then I could use this proxy to get from 4) to 2) over Firefox.

But how I could configure this 'over ssh tunnel' on putty?

I really hope that anybody understand my english and the target I pursue.

Thanks for you help!!

Hi,

First off, welcome here
I hope we can help you, at least...we all do an effort..

Maybe a question: what's the purpose? Perhaps some simpler approach is possible...

Thanks for your welcome!

The purpose is that the IP Camera 2) is located behind a NAT. That's because it is connected with internet via UMTS.
In this case there is no public IP where you could directly connect to.

Anybody with some helpful tips?

Umm...sorry, some other stuff caught my focus here...
Okay...the camera, is it non-operator used? As in: surveillance? If not (webchat or so) how about something like Google talk? If not, an IP webcam could help...

Open PuTTY -> on the left side expand "SSH", and select "Tunnels".
Enter a high port i.e. 27000 and click "add".

Select "Dynamic", enter "27000", and then enter "debianVPS:27000" under destination.
Next, select “Session on the left side. Set hostname to "debianVPS". Click "Open" to login to the server. Enter your username and password, and as long as the window is open and you’re logged in, the dynamic proxy will be open.

@ Annielover - thanks, this was instructive...
@ OP - sorry I could'nt come up with this...

Thanks, but yes it is an camera for surveillance. And it is allready an IP - camera like I've discribed in my first post.



Thanks for your post!
But this procedure I already knew.
It isn't the only function I need...

You're right, I need this proxy function but I will show you the function on WinSCP, I also need:
On the first Pic I can set the login data of the "debianVPS". And on the second Pic I can set the login data of the Debian Client, which have a reverse ssh tunnel to the "DebianVPS", to connect to the Debian Client through the DebianVPS.

The only solutio I would know, ist to run two putty sessions simultaneously.
The first to connect to debian VPS for making a proxy to the debianVPS.
The second to connect to localhost through the proxy for making connection to debian client...

You know what I mean? Is it possible to do this with Putty really simple?

Thanks so much!!
